Method for producing ceramics with thermal shock resistance
First Claim
1. A method for producing a ceramic which comprises firing a mixture comprising at least one compound selected from the group consisting of the sulfate, nitrate, carbonate, oxide, hydroxide, acetate and oxalate of an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, titanium oxide and rehydratable alumina, wherein the mixing ratio of the alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compound and titanium oxide is such that 0.1 to 4 gram atoms of titanium as titanium oxide are present per gram atom of the alkali or alkaline earth metal in the metal compound, and the weight ratio of titanium oxide to the rehydratable alumina is from 1:
- 1 to 1;
10, at a temperature in the range of 1,000°
C. to 1,300°
C. for a time sufficient to produce said ceramic.
